So many of my friends have had the same opportunity presented to them. They all chose not to take it. Was it the Husband's decision, no always the wife's. The draw back is always one's comfort zone. I loved Italy so much that I have been there 7 times and I bought a home there. You have the comfort of having a company pay for you. You will never get a better opportunity than that! The kids will talk about it the rest of their lives, no worries whether it is good or bad, there will be plenty of memories! Unless you are READY for a change, love adventure or want a lasting memory do not do it! Your comfort zone is where you are! It took me till I was 40 to travel, but once I did, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Germany, Spain and Italy.....And there is so much more to see.
